This is one of those movies that changed the way we think about disability. It was in 1996. The eighth day was marked in Cannes (Mr. Francis Ford Coppola!), with a double interpretation prize for Daniel Otay and the Down syndrome actor Pascal Duquesne.
A few years ago, we remembered this prize in Cannes and photographed it with Daniel O’Taylor himself (video above).
In the cross-meeting of Alice Bellaid (Alice, in Un P’tit truc en plus) and Daniel Ott, we couldn’t resist the memory of this film with the tandem of the soon-to-be-released film The Wire.
This is a film that we talked about a lot on the set, on the set, with parents, guardians
“For Artus, the eighth day is definitely a clue.
It’s a movie that influenced me as a kid, and it’s a movie that we talked about a lot on set, on set, with parents, with teachers.
I remember the first call I had with Daniel to talk about the film, I was on the set of Artus and I told you about it. I had you like, “Wow, we talk about you a lot, we talk about the movie a lot, so it’s funny, it’s actually a theme.“
The eighth day’s story follows Harry. He finds Georges on the road. “I’m Mongolian” said Georges. Harry wants to take her home. can’t get rid of it. He gets attached to it. These two completely opposite beings will become inseparable. Nothing will be the same again…
Released in France on May 16, 1996, Jacque Van Dormael’s film attracted more than 3.6 million viewers.
Daniel Ott and Alyssa Bellaid will both appear at Le Fil on September 11, 2024.
Meanwhile, the success of Un P’tit truc en plus continued in cinema. Artus comedy should reach 7 million in the coming days.
